Thanks for pointing that out. Anyway, there is always an option for
anonymous comments (disabled by default), but I have enabled it in my
documentation.
I have the same understanding as well, that it will only apply for those
who will post a comment. On the other hand, disqus is really popular
service and a lot of blogs are using it, for example Jekyll and, therefore,
I don't think there is a lot to be concerned about, but is definitely worth
to acknowledge the policy.
